Hi All,

Tried to post this on FISO, but seems to have gone missing (or been rejected!).

Spotted that the Australian PGA Tour are running their own Fantasy Golf Game to coincide with their five week tour starting with the JB Were Tournament (Tiger's playing in it!) this week:

http://fantasy.pga.org.au/fantasy/

I have scoured this site and no mention as to oversea's entries being allowed or otherwise, so am assuming they are allowed. You will however be asked for an Australian State, in addition to your e-mail address, I put NSW (Sydney) as I have friends there to collect the Srixon Clubs / bag if I win!

Think we could set up a mini league if anyone is interested.

Cheers

So yes, having someone over there to collect it is crucial!

Might as well setup a FISO League - good practice if nothing else. :geek:

Having someone over there to collect sounds just as illegal as it is crucial ;)

Interesting that they let me set up a team with a .uk e-mail address.

Could always just play this game for fun, or £5 each sweepstake which is probably doubly illegal = legal :lol:

Hi Adrian,

Happy to go along with free to play.

Any idea how many substitutes you get in this game, a new line up / limited subs? Tiger will only be playing one event, so would look to sub him out next week.

Will try and find time to set up a TFG league tonight.

Cheers Colin

Thought the budget was fairly lenient, not too sure about many of the players but think I have set up a decent team for week 1

Bugger it :evil:

Been out almost all day so never got round to this. Might start from next week so I can really embarrass Shaun by catching him after giving a headstart :lol:

You will do well to catch him after this week if the captain does reasonable -but then again, not everyone will choose Presnel as Capt! :lol:

Was gonna say you'll probably finish 5th, but that's not such a big deal in this league :lol:

Did notice that were a lot of entries in the main game though :shock:

Only four of us against hoards of Ausi's, what's the chances :?:

I used to play at Stoneham, Southampton, where Richard Bland is the touring professional.

He's best mates with Matt Le Tissier (any Saints fans out there?).

Not staying up all night, will review TFG League 2009 round 1 scoring in the morning :P
